According to an organizational source, the Mets are in no hurry to bring back Daniel Murphy as he hones his skills at multiple positions for Triple-A Buffalo.

Murphy will have to “force the issue” with his performance to regain a roster spot. Or the Mets will need to see a drop-off in Chris Carter’s performance to consider Murphy.

The Mets plan to have Murphy, who is recovering from a sprained medial collateral ligament in his knee, play first base exclusively for at least the next week at Buffalo before giving him action at second base or third base.
